  • Patent number: 11263893
    Abstract: A wearable device may receive a model from a second device. The model may include an event criterion. The wearable device may determine data indicative of an event associated with a user. The wearable device may determine, based on a comparison of the data to the model, an occurrence of the event. The wearable device may initiate, based on the occurrence of the event, a communication session with a third device.

  • Patent number: 7422285
    Abstract: A vehicle seating system can be used within a variety of vehicles to reduce positional fatigue and other effects of long distance traveling. Such a system includes a typical vehicle seat mountable in a vehicle, at least two powered seat adjustment actuators, and an electrical controller. The actuators are moveable to alter the seating position formed by the seat, thereby reducing fatigue experienced by a vehicle traveler.

  • Publication number: 20080091322
    Abstract: A system comprises a vehicle seating system including a seat and at least one powered seat adjustment actuator for altering the seating position formed by the seat. Additionally, the system includes a vehicle braking system including vehicle brakes and a brake pedal. The system further includes a signal sent in response to application of the vehicle brakes which leads to suspension of movement of the actuator during application of the vehicle brakes.

  • Publication number: 20070102969
    Abstract: A vehicle seating system can be used within a variety of vehicles to reduce positional fatigue and other effects of long distance traveling. Such a system includes a typical vehicle seat mountable in a vehicle, at least two powered seat energizer members, including at least one thermal energizer, and an electrical controller. The energizer members are activated to alter the seating condition created by the seat, thereby impacting circulation and reducing fatigue experienced by a vehicle traveler.

  • Patent number: 7083557
    Abstract: A device to facilitate stretching before engaging in athletic activities, particularly golf, is disclosed. Two inverted U-shaped members are permanently affixed to the ground using mounting plates or any other potential means. One of the U-shaped members runs underneath the other in a transverse direction generally along the center of each member. The top surfaces of the U-shaped members are designed to provide three differing levels of height thereby allowing a variety of stretches to be performed by the user. An informational sign depicting a variety of stretches may be included. One or multiple users may use this device to help facilitate a variety of stretches to improve flexibility.
